I'm walking 62K with my dog for Dementia UK
This March, Craig and I will be walking 62K with our dog, Murphy, and raising funds for Dementia UK. Craig's Dad bravely fought Alzheimer's disease with grace and dignity but sadly lost his battle in September. We believe that families should not have to deal with dementia alone and that more support and advice should be available for families.
This is why we are taking on the challenge for Dementia UK, the specialist dementia nursing charity, and would be grateful for your support.
Your donation, big or small, makes a difference. Just £8 can cover the telephone costs for two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline. £33 could fund a new dementia specialist Admiral Nurse to spend an hour helping a family in the community, offering practical solutions and emotional support to cope with their loved one’s distressed behaviour.
Thank you!

7km!
Saturday 22nd Mar We walked almost 5km today from Langland Bay to Caswell Bay and it was a beautiful spring day with the sun shining. We stopped at Caswell for a coffee before walking back. Murphy was getting very tired towards the end but it was our longest walk yet. We even took a walk around the block this evening for another 2km! Share
